>&#13;        There are many files that are placed in the Bugzilla directory
        area that should not be accessible from the web server. Because of the way
        Bugzilla is currently layed out, the list of what should and should not
        be accessible is rather complicated. A quick way is to run
        <TT
CLASS="filename"
>testserver.pl</TT
> to check if your web server serves
        Bugzilla files as expected. If not, you may want to follow the few
        steps below.

>Be sure to test that data that should not be accessed remotely is
      properly blocked. Of particular interest is the localconfig file which
      contains your database password. Also, be aware that many editors
      create temporary and backup files in the working directory and that
      those should also not be accessible. For more information, see
      <A
HREF="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186383"

>bug 186383</A

      or
      <A
HREF="http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/6501"
TARGET="_top"
>Bugtraq ID 6501</A
>.
      To test, simply run <TT
CLASS="filename"
>testserver.pl</TT
>, as said above.
